Hydrogen bunkering station

A new hydrogen refuelling station at the Port of Klaipėda in Lithuania, to be developed by MT Group will be equipped with a PEM electrolyser . This will be the the first in the Baltic region to produce green hydrogen on-site.

The IMI VIVO electrolyser will enable the port, which is the second largest EU port by tonnage in the Baltic, to produce 500kg of green hydrogen on-site per day. This is equivalent to 127 tons per year while using an electrical input of 3 MW, drawn from sustainable sources. On-site production helps to reduce the need for transportation and storage of hydrogen, while also reducing associated emissions.

IMI’s VIVO Electrolyser offers full customisation in size, capacity, and configuration, ranging from 100kW to 5MW, with potential for further expansion to 20MW through a modular configuration.

Mauro Natalini, Sales & Business Development Manager at IMI, said: “Electrolysers can provide huge benefits to the marine sector, and help to meet the stringent targets set out by the EU as part of the European Green Deal.”

Mindaugas Zakaras, CEO of MT Group, said: “As part of our vision to encourage sustainability, we are committed to making the new hydrogen refuelling station in Klaipda a benchmark for the entire industry. This will be achieved by using the most innovative technology to maximise capacity while meeting the highest quality and safety standards.

Tracing hydrogen
Hydrogen producer Lhyfe has joined forces with Atmen to become the 1st player in the hydrogen sector to guarantee the traceability of its green and renewable hydrogen, a major step towards its ‘RFNBO*’ certification.
